Wedding Keepsake Box

This Wedding Keepsake Box is my first design project for KCK and has a step-by-step tutorial. I got to use the Basic Grey Cappella Collection that has. It's probably my most single-collection focused project. Entering it for Scrap It Lah's July Alter Anything challenge.



Inspiration :

I love to give new life to what's laying around the house and what would normally go into the recycling bin. This time I altered humble matchboxs into a 10-drawer box to hold little cherished treasures.

Supplies :

Basic Grey Cappella Collection - chipboard stickers, journalling transparencies, rub-ons, glazed brads, Pageantry paper, Aria paper
Others - 10 matchboxes, 1/8" foam board, acrylic paint, pearls, silk flowers

Instructions :

Here are the original matchbox sleeves being glued between the 2 paper-covered foam boards. And the matchbox inserts given a coat of arcylic paint. It took 2 attempts to mix a shade of aquamarine that complements the BG Cappella colours.



Completed Box :

It was fun to combine an easel to add height to the drawers below. In this last pic, you can see all 10 drawers and a peep of the raw brown edge of 2 sleeves.

Chocolate & Mint Thank You

Nearly 3 weeks since I made anything. My papers and crafting supplies have been hidden behind a wall of boxes as the movers have delivered my sister's belongings from the US. Luckily I have this Thank You wrapper and some Basic Grey chipboard laying around.



Supplies :

Pattern Paper - wrapping paper, Chatter Box (Artsy.licious willow)
Embellishments - Basic Grey (Capella) chipboards & brad, ribbons, buttons, silk flowers, eyelets, DMC embrodery floss

Completed Card :

Quite pleased with the cascade effect of small white flowers and banner pannets from the floss threaded through the white eyelets.This card will be going to Suet Peng at CCHS.
